5 Tasks Every Homeowner Should Do in January!
By: Gabriela Barkho
 
Start looking for that contractor NOW if you want your project done by summer’s end.
 
Whew. The holidays are done. The new year has rung in.
That’s when smart homeowners know it’s time to do these five things that’ll save time, money, and hassles all year long:
 
#1 Organize Your Seasonal Storage Space:
Packing away holiday decor presents a big opportunity. It’s the best time to sort, declutter, and reorganize that space where you store your seasonal stuff.
So before simply stuffing your holiday things back in there somewhere, take inventory, then sort, filter, donate, trash, and re-home as many of your things as possible.
It’ll help keep you more organized all year long, and make it easier to find all your holiday stuff next year.
 
#2 Deep-Clean the Kitchen:
All of that holiday merriment-making is rough on a kitchen. Give it a good deep cleaning now that the glittery dust has settled.
 
Purge your pantry and frisk your fridge, passing what you can on to local food banks. Scrub the walls and kick-boards, and even pull those appliances right out from the walls for a thorough vacuuming to prevent gunk (and stinks!) from accumulating.
 
#3 Plan Summertime Projects Now (Especially if You Need a Pro):
Finalize plans for any landscaping, ... more
